Abstract
Metal complexes of general formula [M(L)2]Cl2 and [M(L)2], L=L1, L2, L3 have been prepared where M is Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II), L1 is (Z)-3- (4-methoxyphenylimino) indolin-2-one, L2 is (Z) -1- ((4-methoxyphenylimino) methyl) naphthalene-2-ol, L3 is (Z)-2-(4-methoxyphenylimino) -2-phenylethanol. The complexes which have the molar ratio of 1:2 (metal to ligand). The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic and conductance measurements infrared absorpation spectra and electronic spectra. IR spectra showed that the nitrogen of the azomethine group, carbonyl oxygen of L1 or the oxygen hydroxy group for the L2 and L3 take part in coordination. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectra studies suggested a tetrahedral structure for all complexes. Conductance measurements indicating the 1:2 electrolytic nature for L1 and non electrolyte for L2 and L3. The biological activity testes indicate that most of the prepared complexes posses high ability to inhibit growth Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of sulphamethoxazole in pure as well as in dosage form is described. The method is based on the reaction of sulphamethoxazole as electron donor with o-chloranil as electron acceptor to form violet colored charge transfer complex having maximum absorption band at 539 nm. Under the optimized reaction conditions, Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of 2-60 μg ml-1 with molar absorptivity 3.675×103 L mol−1cm−1. The limits of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were 0.371 and 1.236 μg ml-1 respectively. The accuracy and precision of the method were satisfactory; the average recovery % was 100.95 % and values of relative standard deviations ≤1.06 %. The stoichiometry of the reaction was studied, and the reaction mechanism was postulated. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of sulphamethoxazole in its pharmaceutical tablets and syrup with good accuracy and precisions.

Propose A New Optimization Technique For Mobile IPv4
Journal of Education and Science,
2013, Volume 26, Issue 4, Pages 140-151
DOI:
10.33899/edusj.2013.89965
ABSTRACT
Mobile IPv4 is designed to allow the mobile nodes to have internet connectivity without changing their IP addresses while roaming between other networks. The packets sent from Correspondent Node (CN) to a Mobile Node (MN) through the mobile node’s Home Agent (HA), then the HA forward them to the MN’s foreign network. One of the main problems that faced the original Mobile IP is the triangle routing problem. Triangle routing problem appears when the indirect path between CN and MN through the HA. The path is longer than the direct path. This paper proposes a new technique to improve the performance of the original Mobile IP by reducing the average delay and packet loss for all the packets transferred between the CN and the MN. In this technique, the packets will delivered to MN directly without passing by HA, and they will pauses in tunneling buffer till MN reach to new network and receive new address. To show the effectiveness of the proposed technique, it is compared with the original Mobile IP and another technique that try to solve the same problem. The simulation of the original Mobile IP and new technique is carried out using NS-2 simulator on Linux platform. The simulation results show that the proposed technique is more effective than the original Mobile IP and others.

Abstract
A computer sound card based data acquisition system is built and used to study the small variations in the static dielectric constant of resin-hardener type epoxy during the process of polymerization per to solidification. The system involves self correction of any effects related to spurious fluctuations related to mains voltage changes. Results using several mixing ratios of resin and hardener indicate some structures in the dielectric constant- time relation. Such structures can not be explained by simple exponential behavior associated with direct one step reaction. A simple two steps reaction model is suggested .The model results in better fits of the experimental data.
